Jeuveau

Jeuveau is FDA-approved to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults. Jeuveau^® lessens the appearance of frown lines by reducing the muscle activity that is the root cause of these facial wrinkles. The first product of its kind dedicated exclusively to aesthetics, Jeuveau botulinum toxin injection is a nonsurgical option for facial rejuvenation that temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause frown lines and restores a more youthful look.

Xeomin

The repeated contractions of muscles when we make certain facial expressions can cause frown lines to become deeper and more persistent over time. Xeomin botulinum toxin type A is FDA-approved to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines, or frown lines, between the eyebrows. Xeomin^® is made using a proprietary, double-filtered technology that removes unnecessary proteins from the product. Xeomin treatments in Birmingham AL usually take only from 10 to 20 minutes.

Bellafill

Bellafill dermal filler consists of collagen for immediate volume and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres for natural-looking results that feel soft and smooth for up to 5 years when used to correct nasolabial folds. The PMMA microspheres are used by the body to create a "scaffold" for your own natural collagen. While results with Bellafill^® are visible with the very first treatment, it's microspheres and the collagen they attract work to strengthen the layers of your skin by forming a natural support system.

With a series of light injections, Hylaform^® can be used to fill lines between the nose and mouth, small lines above the lip, frown lines between the eyes and to minimize creases that turn down the corners of the mouth. Treatment and recovery with Hylaform can take as little as an hour and the results are immediate and natural-looking.
